HOUSTON --

An accident very nearly turned tragic in northwest Harris County Friday.

It happened in front of a home near Telegraph Creek and Stoney River. A mother and her two children were rushed to a hospital after getting hit by their own car. A family member told us they had just returned from the grocery store and were unloading groceries from the trunk. The car was in neutral and rolled over the mother, breaking her leg.

Her two children, ages 10 and 6, were also taken to a hospital with cuts and bruises.
